  • Summary

  • As we approach 2025, the 250th anniversary of the birth of the United States when shots were fired at the North Bridge, we explore how a town West of Boston, founded to produce hay, became the center of the world at the start of the American Revolution, and is now a thriving historical community representing a wide array of people and industries. We will tell stories of Concord's past, speak with notable residents, and explore how the town is preparing for a rapidly changing world.
